ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG Slot cutter DIN 850 D, 16.5 mm – HSS‑Co, 8 flutes

The Slot cutter DIN 850 D Type N is a compact milling cutter for producing slots and light milling in construction, case‑hardened and tempered steels as well as short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, featuring an HSS‑Co body and a cylindrical shank with drive flat.

• HSS‑Co high‑performance cutting material
• DIN 850 D standardised slot cutter design
• Cylindrical shank with drive flat

Reliable cutting performance for mixed steels and non‑ferrous alloys

The combination of HSS‑Co (cobalt high‑speed steel) and the DIN 850 D specification ensures a tool that balances toughness with heat resistance. This composition is particularly effective when working with construction steels and heat‑treated grades where cutting temperatures rise quickly; cobalt increases red hardness and extends edge life. The slot cutter’s geometry has been designed for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, which reduces built‑up edge and improves surface finish. For users seeking reproducible results on different batches of material, the standardised design provides predictable performance across machines.

Secure mounting and consistent run‑out on standard spindles

A cylindrical shank with drive flat secures the cutter in conventional collets and chucks and prevents slipping under intermittent loads. The Type N configuration indicates a general‑purpose slot cutter profile compatible with many workshop toolholders; this reduces set‑up time and simplifies tool inventory. Reduced slippage and stable clamping contribute directly to dimensional accuracy and repeatability during slot milling, which is crucial when multiple components must match tight tolerances.

Efficient material removal with controlled cutting engagement

The cutter features 8 cutting edges and a modest 5 mm cutting length, enabling high material removal rates in light milling operations while maintaining control over chip thickness. A higher number of flutes provides smoother cutting action and a finer surface finish when machining short‑chipping materials, whereas the shorter cutting length concentrates cutting forces for better stability. For jobs that require concise slot depths or finishing passes, this geometry minimises vibration and helps to preserve tool life.

Practical workshop integration and quality assurance

Manufactured by ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG, this slot cutter follows an industrial standard and is suitable for repair, prototyping and production environments where consistent quality is required. Purchasing through Metav Werkzeuge links product availability with established logistics and a quality filter based in Emmerich; this supports reliable supply and reduces administrative overhead for procurement. Technical documentation following the DIN norm and the known material composition provide a verifiable basis for tool selection in regulated or serial production settings.

FAQ

What materials is this slot cutter suitable for?
The ALPEN‑MAYKESTAG slot cutter is specified for construction, case‑hardened and tempered steels and for short‑chipping non‑ferrous metals, benefiting from the HSS‑Co cutting material.

How many cutting edges does the tool have and what is the cutting length?
The tool is manufactured with 8 cutting edges and a 5 mm cutting length, optimised for controlled, stable material removal in light milling operations.

Is the shank compatible with standard collets and chucks?
Yes, the cylindrical shank with drive flat is designed for secure clamping in standard workshop collets and chucks, improving torque transmission and reducing slippage.

What advantage does HSS‑Co offer compared with standard HSS?
HSS‑Co adds cobalt to the high‑speed steel matrix, increasing red hardness and wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures, which benefits endurance and consistent cutting performance.
